LOOKING FOR FRESH NEW IDEAS IN 2012

BROKER • AGENT • FOOD • NON-FOOD

Serious Business Proposals Welcomed

We have a shrimp trawler, the JEAN MARIE, in Sierra Leone that we have lost interest in. She was purchased in Carabelle, FL., completely refurbed and refitted at Anclote Marine, FL., USA in 2007. She was one of toughest, most productive shrimp trawlers until until we brought her to Sierra Leone and put her in the hands of local partners and "fisherman?".

Small and large foreign fishing companies and crews are working the seas hard and around the clock. They see the profits of the known species and are hard at work exploring and harvesting the seas of high value, unexplored rich bounty.

In the background, away from the noise, hustle and bustle of the foreign fisherman at work, the locals sleep.

FIRST CATCH SEAFOOD WILL NO LONGER ACTIVELY FISH THE WATERS OF SIERRA LEONE

The Jean Marie is still running, fully instrumented but run down by our "crews". She is for sale "AS IS AND WHERE IS". A solid fishing boat that needs some TLC. You must submit a bonafide offer with a refundable wire transfer deposit.

After five years, we are liquidating all our current assets in Sierra Leone.

If you are interested and ready to work, then you must:

  1. Submit a written bonafide offer;
  2. Submit a refundable wire transfer deposit;
  3. Submit a certified letter from your bank that you have the deposit monies and the ability to buy the boat.
  4. Due diligence and contingency fees shall be at your expense. We can provide lots of documentation since we bought and refitted her in 2007.

She needs a motivated owner who can find a "competent" crew to work the seas of the bountiful and huge and untouched high value fishery products. Here are the specifications for the M./V Jean Marie:

-Length: 61.6 feet (18.7 meters)
-Breadth: 19.9 feet
-Depth: 9.2 feet
-Gross Tons: 83.00
-Net Tons: 56.00

-Hull Material: Steel
-Hull ID #: 135
-Hull Built City: Bayou La Batre, Alabama USA
-Vessel Service Type: Commercial Fishing Vessel
